What!?!? A team on their third/fourth string QB struggles!?!?

Man…are we good?

How freaking fun. I miss Utah basketball.

Man, we are set up for him so much better than BYU. Rising is coming back, and when Rising has a favorite, you get the ball. When Vele was healthy, he was getting 6-9 receptions a game. That’s almost 100 receptions per year.

And Vele just left. Roberts would have a chance to come in and be the #1 option on the team. We have no one else. We hope…[Read more]

We will smoke them.

I saw one from him somewhere.

Going along with this, the PAC conference is gone. I’d be surprised if there is even a Big 12 conference in 2030.

You’ll have either super conferences or the B1G and SEC will break up again. Either they break off or go the way of the WAC-16.

Either way, I don’t know if the Big 12 is even around. The left over western teams will reform the PAC…[Read more]

Damn. Some real wisdom in your post:

“We need to recruit donors over players.”

So true. The other thing that needs to change and fast, is the coaches need to have some say in how the NIL money is spent. Maybe Jackson isn’t worth the big bucks, but Whitt knows everyone is coming back and overpaying for a RB for one year is what will put us over…[Read more]

This is a 100% zoob made up fantasy (what they are best at) and Big 12 team fan being offended that we’d rather be with USC and Ohio State than Baylor and Kansas State and Oklahoma State.

Here is the reality:

The SEC and B1G make more money than anyone else and it’s not close.
The ACC is headed towards ruins.
The Big 12 is…whatever for…[Read more]

Maybe. Maybe not. That’s the point. We don’t know.

If practices were open, we’d know more. So now, instead of knowing, we get to speculate, which usually leads to a lot of nonsense.

I love Whitt. I really think we will take a step back when he retires.

But the dude has too much control. You can’t have a system where there is no accountability. Once a person loses accountability, their performance will suffer.

Having practices closed doesn’t help Utah win games. See the Arizona game this year. No one knew about our inj…[Read more]

Excellent – Did you see the injuries? And we got to 8 wins?

Yeah, but bowl game was disappointing and yeah, I hope I never see Barnes on the field again in a game outside of the spring game, and yes, I am 100% for reigning down boos if Barnes every steps on the field in a game that counts,

BUT

We had QB1, QB2, RB1, RB2, RB3, TE1, TE2 all down…[Read more]

Yeah, we 100% do not need more parking lots. There are better ways to get people to the game.

Scored just under 40 a game with Rising as our QB in P12 play.

We need talent. We have talent coming back. We will be fine.

I think the most disappointing part of the game was when the first quarter ended, Rose went out onto the field and started warming up.

I was so excited.

Ha ha. Doozy.

Picturing Utah fans as Tucker as Utah Players go down around him…perfect.

“Well officer, it’s been a doozy of a season…”

I was at the game and was shocked at how many more players NW had than we did. It was crazy.

Yeah, Barnes is…not great.

I will always love Barnes for that USC game.

That being said, if he steps on the field for anything other than a “Troy Williams unties his shoe moment” the boos should reign down from on high.

He’s just not good enough. And he shouldn’t ever get a rep in practice again, as that takes away reps from a different, more talented QB.

Here’s the dirty truth we don’t want to admit:

When you have a team who won back to back P12 titles and then had such an injury riddled year and then had a lot of players declare for the draft/transfer…their motivation might not be as high as a shitty B1G team’s.

Sometimes the better team has a disappointing year and isn’t as ready to play.

Jesus Christ people.

In fall camp, Rising was #1. Rose was #2. Barnes was a walk on.

We won 8 games with a walk on QB against arguably our toughest schedule ever.

It wasn’t ideal, but what do you want? Yeah, everyone fumbled the Rising injury. Yup. We should have brought in another QB. But who? Who could we have gotten that could have s…[Read more]
